BookaTaxiHow to book a taxi in Isernia
Updated: July 11, 2026 · Province of IS
To book a taxi in Isernia, call the radio taxi at 339 117 2750. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
In Isernia there is no large radio-taxi cooperative like in bigger cities: the service is provided by a handful of independent drivers, whose main reference point is the taxi rank in Piazza della Repubblica, right in front of the train station. The simplest way to get around is therefore to call one of the local taxi drivers directly, or to head to the taxi rank in the square, especially if you're arriving by train or need to reach the historic center along Corso Marcelli. The main national taxi-booking apps (FreeNow, itTaxi, Wetaxi, appTaxi, BTaxi, InTaxi) do not yet cover Isernia, and even Uber, which launched in nearby Campobasso in September 2025 in its Black/NCC format, does not currently appear to be active in the city. For rides to Napoli airport or longer out-of-town routes, it's always best to agree on the price by phone before getting in.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto di Napoli-Capodichino (NAP) · ~104 km from the center
There is no fixed taxi fare for the Isernia-Napoli Capodichino route: it's a long ride (about 104 km, over an hour and a half), so it's best to agree on the price by phone with the driver before departing, or to consider the train or bus as cheaper alternatives.
Limited Traffic Zone (ZTL)
The historic center (Corso Marcelli and the surrounding squares such as Piazza Celestino V, Piazza X Settembre, Piazza Mercatello and Piazza San Felice) is subject to an experimental ZTL (limited traffic zone), introduced in 2022 and revised with a new phase of public consultation and trial in 2026, generally active in the evenings and on weekends during the spring-summer months (with extension to some public holidays). The exact hours are updated every year: it's advisable to check them with the Comune di Isernia or confirm with the taxi driver before heading into the center during evening hours.
Practical tips
- The historic center of Isernia stretches along a narrow ridge (Corso Marcelli) made up of alleys, staircases and archways: many taxis can't reach right up to your doorstep in the heart of the medieval town, so it's best to agree on a meeting point reachable by car, such as Piazza Celestino V or the start of Corso Marcelli.
- Since 2022 the historic center has had an experimental ZTL in the evenings and on weekends during the warmer months (rules also updated in 2026): before booking a ride into the center, check the current hours with the Comune or with the taxi driver directly.
- Isernia's train station is in Piazza della Repubblica, where the city's main taxi rank is located: it's the most convenient reference point for those arriving by train or bus.
- To reach the Paleolithic archaeological site of Isernia La Pineta (dating back about 700,000 years), on the outskirts along the former Statale 17, it's best to arrange a round trip with waiting time with the driver, since the area is not well served by public transport.
- Since there is no large radio-taxi cooperative, but only a handful of independent drivers, it's advisable to book somewhat in advance, especially in the evening, on public holidays, or for a transfer to Napoli airport.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a taxi cost in Isernia?
Fares follow the municipal taximeter (a starting fee plus a cost per km/waiting time). For out-of-town trips or rides to the airport, it's always best to ask the driver for an estimate at the time of booking, since local taxis are run by individual drivers rather than a cooperative with a single published price list.
Does Uber work in Isernia?
No, at the time of checking there were no active Uber drivers in the city. Uber (only in the Black/NCC format) arrived in nearby Campobasso in September 2025, but it does not appear to have been extended to Isernia.
Where is the taxi rank in Isernia?
The main reference point is Piazza della Repubblica, in front of the train station, where the city's taxi is stationed. Alternatively, you can call one of the local taxi drivers directly.
Can you book a taxi with an app in Isernia?
The main Italian apps (FreeNow, itTaxi, Wetaxi, appTaxi, BTaxi, InTaxi) do not yet cover Isernia: bookings must be made by phone, contacting local drivers directly.
Can taxis enter the historic center of Isernia?
The historic center, which stretches along the narrow ridge of Corso Marcelli, is affected by an experimental ZTL (in effect since 2022 and updated in 2026) in the evenings and on weekends during the warmer months. During closure hours, it's best to agree on a meeting point reachable by car with the driver, at the edge of the restricted zone.
